Yellamundie Festival
The Yellamundie Festival is a biennial celebration and national and international platform for new and distinct First Peoples stories and voices across the performing arts. Since its inception in 2013, the festival has become an international showcase for First Peoples talent. From a national call for submissions, six new works will undergo two weeks of development and are presented in a three-day festival of public showings, yarns, and events in Sydney. The Yellamundie Festival showcases a range of live performance art forms, providing development opportunities for Playwrights, Composers, and Movement Directors. Pathways for Market Development and Pitching for Yellamundie Festival artists, past and present with APAM.
Presented by Moogahlin Performing Arts, in association with Carriageworks & APAM, Yellamundie Festival takes its name from the Darug word for storyteller.
Submissions are now open for artists. Applications close 16 May. Don’t miss this opportunity to have your work developed and presented as part of the 2025 Yellamundie Festival.
